B&W Nautilus 802 or Krell Resolution 2


I'm considering one of these two speakers to match-up with existing Krell electronics in a 20' x 26' room with good acoustics. Does anyone have an opinion on the differences of these models? I'm well very familier with the N802 but don't have a chance to listen to the Krell (no Krell speaker dealers in S. FL).
Thanks-much!

Sorry I can't compare the two but your room size is critial. I have 802's in a 15' x 26' room and they wook great. I always buy what I like with the realization that they have very good resale value. I bet you can buy a black pair in great shape for $4000. You can have them for tow years and still get $3200. That way you can always upgrade later.
I think there is almost no comparison between the N803s, N804s and the N802s. I also had these and the upgrade is awesome. You can find used N802s for a great price and because of the reputation, they are always desirable. If you live around New York or Los Angeles, they are always availble used. Otherwise shipping is costly. I think these speakers are a great balance of musicality and clarity. Bass is a little weak but I still LOVE them.
Sorry I see you live in Florida. I have seen them used there many times. I would be patient and try to find them where you could audition them at someones house. Best way to buy for sure.
